Don’t try this at home unless you have a industrial-strength exhaust system.

“Chicken Supreme” Lives Up to Its Name

Tastefully Yours executive chef Dominique Fallings takes chicken to new heights with his Atlanta Chicken Supreme. Fallings stuffs a boneless, skinless breast with a pecan pesto with imported and toasted parmesan reggiano, a bit of basil and garlic and a touch of extra-virgin olive oil. He then pan sears the meat, finishes it in the oven and serves it with a peach bourbon jus lié.

The chicken sometimes shares a plate with wild rice pilaf and smoked spinach. Fallings sautées the spinach with olive oil in an extremely hot iron skillet. Then, before the pan starts to cool, he adds a generous dollop of butter. The resulting smoke provides the flavor. But Fallings warns, “Don’t try this at home unless you have a industrial-strength exhaust system.”

Paula Kraft founded Tastefully Yours some 30 years ago and later brought aboard her daughter Amanda, who is now a co-owner. The caterer, based at Atlanta’s DeKalb-Peachtree Airport, has become known for its creative menu, as well as for its variety of ethnic cuisine and attention to customers’ dietary requirements.
